Hello~ today I review one of my favorite shounen ai mangas… well, it
is my favorite one. I read a lot of yaoi and shounen ai manga (in case you don’t
know they’re about boy x boy relationships), so you will see a lot of reviews
of that genre in this blog. If you don’t like that genre, or are not
comfortable with it, I recommend you not to read this review.

Shino Yuzuru.

This
story is about two high school boys, Shino Yuzuro, a third year student, and
Seryou Touji, a first year student. One Monday morning, Shino asks Seryou to go
out with him at the school entrance. He asked him out as a joke, Seryou is well
known to go out seven days with the first person that asks him on Monday, it doesn’t
matter the gender. Seryou becomes the perfect boyfriend those seven days and in
the end he always breaks up with the person in Sunday. Shino doesn’t take their
relationship seriously… but that may change.

This
is one of the first mangas I read, and I still remember how excited I was while
reading it the first time, it’s beautiful. Everything in this manga is
beautiful, the characters design, the story, even the message: people fall in
love with others because of their personalities, not for their faces.

Shino
Yuzuro has had several girlfriends, he is popular among girls because he’s
attractive. Sadly, the girls get fooled by his pretty face and when he doesn’t fit
what they imagined, they break up with him.

Seryou Touji.

Seryou
touji, thou one may think this routine of going out with someone for Sven days
is a joke, for him it’s not. He takes it seriously and really wants to fall in
love with someone in that week.

Due
to their personalities both characters complement each other. Shino doesn’t treat
Seryou as he is used to be treated, and Seryou discovers Shino’s true
personality, and likes it.

The
story is short, concise and sweet, but not cheesy. There’s some drama, but I’m
glad it’s not the usual “I’m not gay”
drama.

If
you are new in the world of yaoi manga, this is a must read. It’s a light read
because it’s not yaoi (explicit), its shounen ai (soft yaoi) and it focuses in
the romance only.

It’s
a good manga, with a light and sweet story, easy to read and with a pretty art
style. I highly recommend it if you like this genre. :D

As
additional info, there is a live action movie of this manga, I haven’t watched
it because I just recalled it.
